It is amazing to see how fast and how far the mobile phone has spread. Because it extends a basic human quality—the ability to communicate—there are few aspects of life that it fails to touch.
Teenagers have become the channel through which mobile phones have found their way into the wider society. The young were also the first to see the potential of the text messaging. More than two million text messages were sent around the world alone, and by 2004 this had grown to 8 million!
In Japan, the teenage generation has become known as the thumb tribe, because of the speed and accuracy with which they text.
However, teenagers and text messaging are only part of the mobile story. Historians of technology have noted that the telephone arrived at the exact period when it was needed for the reorganization of great cities and the unification of nations. Never before have so many people been on the move, whether as commuters, or travelers.
Mobile phones encourage and respond to this mobility. In China, which is witnessing vast movements of people, the mobile has become a vital part of life: a way to keep in touch with families back home and also a means of establishing oneself in a new social environment.
Connecting people rather than places, the mobile phone has changed the way people organize their lives. Plans can be made or changed on the spur of the moment (一时兴起)and where organizing in advance used to be made. It is ridiculous to compare a mobile to a body part, but it is something to which people grow attached. Mobiles even change the experience of being alone as they provide countless ways to pass the time.
It is in developing countries that the mobile phone’s influence has been the most immediate. Bangladesh is one of several countries in which mobile phones are used as public village telephones, sometimes powered by solar energy. The mobile has become a political and media tool, too. Text messaging first went about across the world by means of gossip and jokes but now important news and information, and even advertising, are moved around the networks.

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A，B，C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
Life on land probably began about 430 million years ago, though it has existed in the water for perhaps as much as 3,000 million years. When we think of the first thing on land, we probably think of strange animals coming out of the oceans, but in fact no animals could have been living if plants had not been on land first. Plants had to be on land before animals arrived. They supplied the first land animals with the surrounding and food necessity, since then, the plants, are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy.
The first plants to exist out of the water were probably certain kinds of algae(海藻) which were followed by other plants that grew close to the ground and needed water in which to reproduce. Once the move to land had been made, however, evolution(进化) took place quickly. By the end of 100 million years, plants had developed their roots(根), and some had got tree-like forms since height was very important in gaining sunlight. About 300 million years ago, much of the world was covered with forests of huge trees. In most ways they were like modern trees. They had roots, leaves, wood, but mostly they had not developed seeds.
